Interesting to write what Kasparov knew. We should better deal with what the computerchess people knew. Apparently they didn't really know what they are doing. And that for decades already. Ok, humans never really cared that much because the overall chess emulation wasn't strong enough to be considered for serious. But if compuerchess is propagating the superiority over human chess things should be clarified a bit... > >Kasparov is being a sore loser and is unhappy because he didn't get a third >match and the money that would have come with it.

For sure Kasparov isn't a sore loser when it was Hsu&IBM who deconstructed the machine so that no further tests could be made. Scientifically this is a crime (that is what Kasparov is saying in the quoted interview). Whith whom Kasparov should have made a third match? With people who betray their own science? That Kasparov is not a politician, this is a different question. I would agree! He's not.
